Mark,

Thanks for your reply...I think. I got two e-mails sent to me from you. One was in ALL CAPS which I must tell you as far as etiquette is concerned is a major insult to me as it denotes that you are yelling at me. Quite frankly I do not enjoy being yelled at so I simply deleted the message with out reading it upon seeing the total lack of respect displayed by you toward me. So, I cannot comment on its contents. IF YOU EVER show me that kind of NAKED INSENSITIVITY and BLATANT DISRESPECT again I will not correspond with you any further.

Now pertaining to the content of this message you sent me.

1. I am remiss to further any dealings with someone who uses a Yahoo email account. Anyone can have a Yahoo email account. I have read on the Internet that most people who use Yahoo email accounts are lowly educated bottom feeding scoundrels who intend to inflict dubious and nefarious acts of fraud upon unsuspecting individuals who are easily duped by cesspool dwelling scum sucking cretins. I certainly hope that is not the case here because I assure you that I am not a lowly educated person who is easily taken advantage of unlike many of the deer-eyed brainless clones that try to pass themselves off as human which are so frequent on the Internet. Further, it would seem to me that someone of your position and self proclaimed stature would have a more legitimate account in which to conduct the type of business in which you are proposing especially when you take into account the sensitivity of the situation. Also that little tag line, "Do You Yahoo" simply irritates me to no end and I cannot fathom having to see it with every correspondence we have. Honestly, you must have a more professional email account than this if you are to be taken remotely serious by any potential partner to assist you in such delicate matters. You really need to fix this issue.

2. You need to brush up on your English as there are many instances in your message that beg to be critiqued. For instance you have a nasty habit of using a lowercase "i" when referring to yourself instead of an uppercase "I" which is the proper method when referring to yourself. Perhaps you have an inferiority complex which through some Freudian slip manifests itself in this manner...but that is neither here nor there and I guess something that you will need to address in your own way. My point here is that you suffer from a complete lack of grammatical skills which lends cause to make one think that they are dealing with a sub-intelligent individual. Again, this gives me great pause as to purse with you the type of transaction that you are requesting of me or to assist you in your endeavor in any way, shape or form.

With that said, I would like to lend you my ability to help you see this venture through but you are going to have to address the issues I have outlined here. I have looked over the documents that you have attached and I am not sure why you shared them with me as your message was a bit jumbled and incoherent. In your next response, please try to clarify in a meaningful manner exactly what it is you are requesting of me and what the significance of any attached document is so that together we can figure out a clear and concise path to achieve the end result.

Thank you and good day to you,
Clay L. Poole III

Dear Mark,

It is me, Clay L. Poole. Please use the following e-mail address for any further contact: xxxxxxxxx@retardsrule.com

I cannot stress enough the importance that you DO NOT use the other email address to contact me. I will be deleting that account shortly.

Their are strange and psychotic happenings going down right now. I received a call from an Agent S. Stedanko of the Department of Internal Security, Counter Terrorist Task Force Division in which he inquired to a series of emails I have sent to Nigeria over the past few days. He informed me that Nigeria is a hot bed of terrorist activity and that members of the Al-Quada terrorist group and other such low-life, scum sucking sub-human animals are trying to use innocent people around the world to help move and launder large sums of money in an effort to further their horrible exploits. It seems that through the use of the my governments CARNIVORE email scanning program, which they have connected to my Internet Service Providers email system, they picked up on our correspondences and questioned me about my relationship with you. I told them that we were old friends and that I had met you some years ago on a trip to Africa and that you were my tour guide while visiting the Saharan Getty. I also told them that you and I had hit it off so well that we became quick friends and had stayed in frequent contact with each other over the years. Agent Stedanko appears to have bought my cover story thus far but said that he would look into it further.

I was thinking that is might be beneficial to our dealings if you could email me a picture of you frolicking in one of the many jungles that are so common in your country I will pass it off to Agent Stedanko and tell him that I took it on my trip to Africa where we met.

As for the security this current email system that I am using I can assure you that it is 100% secure and the relative security is beyond reproach. I have installed a 1024-bit Level 3 backside VGA quad ported encryption module with a 62.258ghz double mirrored Ver.8 Panther chip set which runs a reticulating scrambling email utility through 3 separate 12 channel pipelines into a 430Mbs simultaneous convergence processor. Needless to say, no one will be reading my email anymore if I don't want them to. So, we will have no further problems with a big nasty government intruding on our affairs.

Again, I stress that you do not send anything to the old email and use: xxxxxxxxxx@retardsrule.com for all further communication. Because of the initial security breach I would like you to please resend any documents that I need to this email address as I do not want to access the old account for reasons which should be obvious.

Thank you for understanding and I again want to pledge my assistance to you in this endeavor. I wait for your next response.

Dear Mark,

My Friend, I cannot tell you how thoroughly relieved I am to hear from you. I was talking to a neighbor of mine whom stays abreast of world politics and affairs and she was telling me of the horrific conditions in many parts of Africa where innocent people are slaughtered and hacked to death by crazy lunatics and thugs on a daily basis. With so much chaos running amok with reckless abandonment coupled with all the deadly diseases that run so torrent in your country, well, quite frankly I was worried that something extremely terrible had happened to you and that you had been chopped into tiny pieces by some raving savage. I feared that I would never hear from you again.

I apologize for not having a coherent grasp on the geographical layout of Nigeria and had assumed that you lived near or in a jungle. This small oversight on my part may not go over well with Agent Stedanko if he should inquire further about our relationship. I think it would be prudent for you to e-mail me a picture of you anyway just in case he should require some sort of proof that I know you. Where it is taken is of little consequence at this point just as long as I have something to show him.

Now, to the matter at hand, you said that you attached some sort of application for me to fill out and e-mail to the bank yet nothing was attached to your e-mail. Please try to send it again.

Again, it was a great weight off of my shoulders to learn that you are well. Do you believe in God?

I wait your response,
Clay Poole

Dear Mark,

Let me start by offering you my deepest apology for having inadvertently insulted you. I am not sure exactly what is was in my last correspondence that you took so much offense to, but it was never my intention to offend your delicate sensibilities. Please accept my humble apology.

I would very much like to learn more about you culture and way of life and would be very grateful if you could help enlighten me to the way of life in your country. The problem may be that being in the Untied States and being subjected on a daily basis to the State sponsored television that corrupts our airways that I have been brainwashed into thinking that life in other parts of the world are grotesque and border on being out right barbaric. I am coming to learn slowly through you that this is not so. Please help me to understand better.

Now, down to business.

Yes, I am certain that I can help you in this matter. I have sent the application you sent to the e-mail address you supplied for the General Manager of Union Bank of Nigeria. I wanted to note a few things to you that you may pass along to those who need to know.

1. Do not try to contact me at the number I listed on the application. I am convinced that my phones are being tapped. The other day I was talking to a prostitute on the phone and I heard male laughter on the line. I have also heard strange clicking and ticking noises which is a tell tale sign that someone else is listening in. I have a friend on the SFPD in San Fransisco, Det. Harry Callahan and he has told me not to use it. So again, please do not try to contact me there. If you need me to contact you, e-mail me with your number and I will call you from a secure phone line. I hope you understand.

2. The bank info I gave was of my personal bank account. I was thinking that perhaps I would need an off shore account for the type of transaction we are working on here and if so, please let me know. I have an acquaintance, Mr. Roscoe P. Coltrane who is involved in International Banking and can assist me in whatever we need to get this taken care of.

Again, I did not mean to insult you so please forgive me. Let me know if you require anything else.

Sincerely,
Clay L. Poole III

Mark,

I am beginning to worry. I have sent the information you requested to the bank and have not heard back from them or you. Is there a problem? Also I received this letter today. What is going on? It sounds similar to yours. Did you give my name to someone? Is this my new contact, not you? I don't understand what is happening and i am really getting scared.With all the craziness with Agent Stedanko and my phones being tapped I am starting to think you are not who you say you are. I am beginning to think that perhaps you are a government plant trying to entrap me and send me to prison. I expect to hear from you within the next 24 hours or I will being closing my bank account and abandoning my life here in the States and moving to a remote place in South America where I will begin to plat my revenge on those who have double crossed me. I simply cannot and will not go to prison.

I am very scared and would like you to explain what is going on. Please respond immediately before I have to take drastic measures.

Thank you
Clay

Below is the letter I received

Dear Mr. Clay Poole

First and foremost I want to thank you for your willingness to assist me and my family, in my mail first mail, I made it clear to the position of things with me and my family as far as this transaction is concern. For us to get things started, I would want you to assure me that you will not have any misgivings by the time you have this fund in your possession.

As you know in Africa when a man is dead it's the eldest son that takes over the man affairs, in this respect the entire family is entrusting this mutual transaction on my care. As I have entrusted this transaction on your care I would like you to handle it as your personal project. In the light of the above I would like you to provide me with the following information.
1. Your full Name and Address
2. Your personal telephone and fax numbers
Once I receive the above requested information I will forward it to the Security Company where the consignment is at present. With the above requested information that you will provide for me, the change of ownership will be effected. Which means the beneficiary of the consignment will be changed from my fathers name to your name.That will enable you to take delivery of the consignment.I do hope that the percentage I offered is acceptable by you, and you will have more details when you shall make the above information available to me.I am waiting to hear from you.

CLAY POOLE

My dear friend Mark,

It is becoming ever more apparent that you are one of a few people I can truly trust. It seems that even my neighbours have been turned against me and are now in the ever powerful grip of the D.I.S. and Agent Stedanko. For instance, today while I was at my local grocery store I caught my neighbour, a seemingly harmless elderly woman named Marion Cunningham, trailing me as I made my way through the bread and cereal isle. I like Cocoa Puffs, what is your favorite cereal? She followed me as I perused the bread loaves and I was able to snatch a glimpse of a two-way listening/communication devices in tucked neatly into her ears which she was obviously trying to pass off as hearing aids. On a whim I decided to stop by McDonalds and purchase Quarter Pounder with Cheese, large Fries and a Coke to go when lo and behold in walks Mirion and she gets in line behind me. She smiled and said greeted me and tried to strike up a conversation about the weather trying, feebly, to act coy. Do they have McDonalds where you live? I am on too her and any who try and go down that dark and traitorous path. There have been other instances too, but I donÕt want to bore you. They must think I am a fool. So, as you can see they are really putting the heat on but I am on to their infantile attempts at tricking me into slipping up.

I am glad that at least I have you and this opportunity you are giving me to make a way out of this ever deepening hole. With the money that we stand to make out of this business transaction between us I am sure I will be able to make a clean break from this convoluted mess which I am in. What the Greeks called ÒTabula RosaÓ of sorts. I think that means Òclean slateÓ but I am not 100% sure. Anyway, my point is with the money I stand to make once you transfer the money to me, I will be able to start over. What are you going to do with you half of the money? My father, William Poole, is the Chief Robotics Engineer at the Jet Propelled Phallic Symbols Laboratory in Los Angeles. They are currently working on the Sam-Bot 3000 which they plan on sending to Mars to collect data on the reproductive habits of micro-orgasms in the early part of June. It is all very exciting. Do you keep up with what is going on in space? Well, he gives a stipend of $20,000 every month but I have usually spent it on booze and hookers after two weeks. I wish I was more responsible with money. I guess I am trying to say that I am greatly anticipating getting my half of the $4.5 million dollars so the fun can really begin. I think I might buy a brothel in Puerto Rico. I hear it is nice there. WouldnÕt it be funny if I bought a Cathouse in Nigeria and you and I were neighbours. What do you plan on doing with your part of the money?

I was thinking that perhaps I should call the bank to see if I can help expedite the process of getting the claim transferred to my bank. I looked there website and their phone number is listed. When I call should I ask for you or someone else? I have there number listed as 27-11-883-3313. Is that the correct number to call? Please get back to me and let me know as soon as possible.

Oh, I almost forgot with so much going on. The contact info to the person who sent me the message I included in my last e-mail is:
Philip Brown
email is phibrown7@spinfinder.com

Is he a friend of yours? Did you refer me to him? Do you know what his e-mail was about? I am still very concerned with the situations that have arisen since the start of our communications and would appreciate it if you could help clear this up.

Hope to hear from you very soon,
Clay

Mark,

Sorry, I have been really busy lately but I've been investing a lot of time into successfully evading my pursuers and setting up counter-surveillance. I've found out many things that I will let you in on later.

I am still waiting for you to e-mail a copy of Theopulis' will. Should I forward the information you already gave me to the bank and then send the will at a later date or what?

I will be waiting for your instructions.

Dear Mark,

These are ever growing strange and dangerous times. I would like to start by appologizing for taking so long to get back in touch with you. I cannot help but be overcome with the feeling that I have perhaps neglected our business together and have inflicted irrefutable damage to all of our hard work thus far and because of this it has left me feeling as if someone has cut me open and scrambled my insides with one of those big professional egg beater/mixing machines that are so popular on the Food Network channel. Do you get the Food Network channel where you Live? My favourite show on that network is ÒEmeril LiveÓ because the food Emeril Lagasse cooks looks really delicious and he always seems to have some little band set up off to the side of his cooking area who play along as he cooks. I donÕt know it just seems like such a creative touch to the show. Back on topic, I have good reason I have been incommunicado. Last Friday I was visiting my father at JPPSL when one of the engineers working on the SAM-bot 3000 came in to tell him that the latest prototype had malfunctioned and ad run full speed into his prized 1968 Corvette and had caused so much damage it was a total loss. The problem seems to be that one of the assisting Brits working on the project had programmed the system using the metric system instead of the standard system we use here in the States. Needless to say my father was livid and became very angry and during his tirade about how we should have finished the job during the revolution gone back over the big pond and beat the Brits bloody and senseless, he had a heart attack.Oddly enough the same Brit who caused this whole problem was the same person who ended up saving my fatherÕs life as he was also a trained physician. So, I spent 32 sleepless hours at my fatherÕs bedside in the hospital until he finally told me to get $20,000 out of his bank account and go somewhere, anywhere so long as I was not near him anymore.

Well, when I get stressed there is only one way to really relax and get your head straightened out, a trip to the Bunny Ranch in Nevada. Have you ever heard of it? That is where I have been for the past several days. I was locked up in a room for 72 hours straight and just had multiple ladies at a time. Wow, that was a blast. I am including some pictures of my time there. I hope you enjoy them. Unfortunately between all the girls I had sex with and all the booze that I drank, it took me only 3 days to go through all the money my father gave me. Anyway, I am back now, waiting to here from my father. I hope he is alright. He told me not to call or visit saying he would contact me when he was out. Again, I am sorry for the delay and I am ready to continue our business together. I will send the information you have given me to the bank first thing. Enjoy the pictures!

In this email I included a few pictures I found on the web of the Bunny Ranch in Nevada.

Mark,

I will not inform the bank of anything. I think you do not have a choice as to continue with me or not as I have already sent the bank all the information they have requested of me. I don't know how you would explain to them that I am not the true heir to the money we are talking about considering the bank has already verfied my information and approved it all. If you were to try and change anything now they would be suspicious and you would probably be arrested for fraud. Is that what you want? You want to play hardball? Go ahead and try. If you double cross me and try to screw me out of my 50% of the $4.5 million, I will turn you in. I will inform the bank of your involvement in this whole matter and then report you to the appropriate authorities in Nigeria and tell them how you tried to scam the system of all that money. Believe me, you do not want to try . I am vendictive and have the means to make sure you will pay dearly if you try to fuck me out of all this money. Don't even try it, brother, do you understand? DON'T MESS WITH ME!

I have to go visit my father in the hospital right now. I will be back in a few hours and I expect to hear back from you immediately and you better have changed your attitude. I'll blow the doors wide open on this and expose the whole thing if you try anything funny.

CLAY POOLE

Date: Sat 02/21/04 10:28 AM

Mark,

Let's get a few things straight here.

1. I seem to be the only person involved in this entire transaction who knows what they are talking about. Your e-mails to me are random at best and generally incoherent. What do you mean when you say "You do not know the business mind there"? Where is there? That doesn't even make sense. What are you talking about? Then you say that if I report you to the bank and you lose your job it will not be fun for me. What the hell is that supposed to mean? It would seem that it would not be fun for you, unless of course you are trying to threaten me. Is that it? Are you threatening me? If so, you may want to rethink doing such a thing. Let me just advise you that I have friends in all the right places and for a price I can have anything done I want to whom ever I want when ever and where ever I want. So don't go trying to threaten me buddy cause you are liable to get hurt. So, I ask you if you know what you are saying at all?

2. I have tried repeatedly to make this a more personal transaction by asking you questions about yourself, your situation, things you have done, things you like, and things in general to get an idea of the type of person you are. You failed on every occasion to give me the slightest glimpse into who you are and what you are about. I had mentioned numerous times about my dealings with prostitutes and brothels and you never once mentioned your disgust about it. Why is that? I assumed you were like me in that sense so I did not see any problem sharing a few pictures of my latest jaunt to the Bunny Ranch. How was I to know you would be offended? I suggest that you try to open up a little more, let people know a little about you and your likes and dis-likes. If you don't you have no right to get upset when somebody does something that offends you because you have kept yourself closed off and secluded from the real world. The fact that the bank may have received a copy of a picture I sent you is purely coincidental and an accident. I e-mailed the bank the information they requested immediately after I contacted you so if I attached an image that was inappropriate it was purely an accident. If need be I will e-mail them and apology however since I have received more instructions from them I hardly see how that will be necessary since they did not mention anything to me about such an incident. I bet Mr Aka probably used the picture as whack-off material ever since I sent it. In fact he e-mailed me and asked to send him more. Seems to me that you need to get your facts straight.

3. If you don't want to do business with me that is fine. I will complete this transaction with Peter Aka who doesn't seem to have any problems with me whatsoever. He has sent me partial instructions on how to conclude our business dealing and I will contact him shortly about transferring him some funds to do so. If you want out, just say the word, personally I am tired of dealing with you. You are overly sensitive, uncaring about my delicate situations, you are close minded and generally have a bad attitude and negative vibe. You sir, are not easy to get along with.

So, let me know if you want to continue this transaction with Me and Peter or if you want out. It is going to happen either way. You decide.

Dear Mr. Peter Aka

I am writing to let you know that I have received your e-mail in regards to processing fees. Please supply me with all the account information and the method in which you would like the funds transfered to you. I also think that you have made an error in the information that you gave to me as you requested that I send the sum of $1,025 to a Zack Eweka. Certainly this is incorrect as I do not know this individual and have had no contact with him whatsoever nor have you or Mark Owever mentioned his name prior to this. Please send me the corrected information and instructions on how to send the processing fee to you. I am eager to finalize this transaction.

On a side note I would like to express my concern for your employee Mark Owere. I have reached a point in our dealings that I now no longer trust him. The past few e-mails he has sent me were very disrespectful toward both me and toward you. I would include the text of them but they were so offensive that I simply deleted them. He seems to have quite an overwhelming obsession with insulting you and questioning your intelligence. I don't know how you work side by side with him knowing that he has such an obvious hatred for you and holds you in such low regard. Perhaps you keep him around because he is a good employee but I find that hard to believe. He seems so negative all the time and from my correspondences with him he seems to have little to know grasp on how to converse in a coherent manner. He is full of insults and threats. Quite simply, he frightens me and I do not wish to have any further contact with him if necessary.

Anyway, I look forward to concluding this business transaction with you in a most timely manner. Please send me the corrected information and instructions at your earliest convenience as I am ready to complete this affair as soon as possible.

I am ready to cooperate fully with your instructions. It is time to conclude this business venture between us so that we can both get what we want, money.

If I am not available the voicemail will answer so leave me instructions as to what I am to do next. Please call me as soon as possible. Hearing your voice will give me more confidence and I will feel more secure in sending the money the bank has requested.

Again, I have withdrawn the requested funds of $1,025 for the required documents needed to finalize this transaction. I am now waiting for instructions on where and to whom I am to send it. I am ready to close this deal with you and live up to my end of the bargin. I am an honest man and will not try to cheat you. Please call me and let me know what to do next.

My Dearest Peter,

Good day to you sir. I hope this email greets you on a fine and wonderful day.

I would like to take a few minutes to clarify the situation between Mr. Mark Owere and myself. It seems that through an error in judgment on my parts I shared some of my life experiences to which he did not appreciate. I shared with him several pictures that were taken of my latest visit to a Brothel in Nevada and it appears that they offended his delicate sensibilities. It was a simple case of miscommunication on both of our parts that this happened as I thought he would enjoy these pictures as I had expressed my vice for whores and houses of ill-repute and he never mentioned his sheer contempt for them. We have since had a long and fruitful conversation regarding the breakdown of our friendship and the partnership of this business transaction. I am glad to say that we have completely resolved our differences and are once again working together in absolute cooperation to see this business matter through to the end. If you would like me to send you the images I sent to him for your review, please let me know and I will do so post haste.

Please cease any and all surveillance or other disciplinary action against Mr. Owere as he is a great and honest man of great integrity who has always acted in the best interests of the Union Bank of Nigeria.

Thank you,
Clay Poole

Mark,

Here is a copy of the e-mail I just sent your Boss, Peter Aka. I hope it helps to get you out of hot water.

On a side note I am attaching an EFT-3MTA3 Application that my bank needs filled out and must be approved in order to accept an International Electronic Transfer of funds into my account. Unfortunately it is impossible to proceed with any other aspects of this transaction until I deliver this form completed in it entirety to my bank and it is processed and approved. If we are declined we will have to consider alternative methods of transferring the money to me but we can deal with that in the unlikely event we are turned down. You need to fill out Section 1 and sign at the bottom. Mr. Aka will need to fill out Section 2 and he too must sign at the bottom. When I receive it back from you I will fill out my part and turn it into the bank. This is URGENT if we are to successfully conclude our business. Please do not hesitate to have this filled out and returned to me as we can not continue without it.

Also, Mr. Aka said I have 48 hours to make the transfer of $1,025 but I cannot make it until I am assured that your transfer of funds will be accepted by my bank. Please Understand. Fill out the form and return it to me immediately so we can continue.

Good day,
Clay

I whipped up a quick little form with all sorts of required information to waste their time and postpone things for a little while.

Mr. Mark Owere

Sir, it is with great remorse and a heavy heart that I write you. I know you do not know me but please allow me a few moments of your time. I am Dr. William Poole, the father of Clayton whom it appears that you have been corresponding with in regards to a business transaction. It is with much regret that I have the unfortunate task of informing you about his suicide. Sadly, Clayton decided to end his own life in the early Tuesday morning with a single gun shot to the head.

I felt compelled to contact you and inform you of this horrible news after finding numerous interactions via e-mail between the two of you on his computer. From what I gathered after reading over your correspondences, it seems that he held you in very high regards and that you two had become fast and close friends over the past several weeks. He even made it a strong point in his suicide note that he was immensely disappointed in himself for feeling as if he had failed and offended you in some way. I will admit that it does seem that you put a lot of pressure on him and that the guilt he felt from your implication that he was responsible for you possibly losing your job and destroying your family is what finally pushed him over the edge. This however is not the proper time to place blame. He was a very troubled but wonderful young man whom we all loved so very much.

We will be holding funeral services for Clayton this Saturday the 28th at the Forest Lawn Cemetery in Hollywood Hills at 6300 Forest Lawn Dr., Los Angeles, CA 90068. If you would like to send flowers or a card, please let me know and I will give you an address where they can be shipped.

I am attaching a copy of the suicide note found near his body and the Obituary which ran in todayÕs newspaper in case it will help you come to terms with his death. It has been very difficult for us all and if you have any questions or just need someone to talk to about ClaytonÕs untimely death, feel free to contact me at my e-mail address at the laboratory anytime. I would be glad to talk to you anytime. My e-mail address is: xxxxxx@death-star.com

Sincerely,
Dr. William B. Poole

TEXT FROM THE SUICIDE NOTE:

To my family, friends and enemies alike,

I am not some psycho or run of the mill pathetic loser trying to end my worthless existence. Nor am I one of these pansies using "suicide" as a cry for help. Instead, I kill myself tonight as King of the World. Things could never be better than they are right now.

Which is why I leave this world. Things can't get better than this. I have reached the pinnacle of life, and not just my life, the zenith of existence itself. I have achieved absolute Bliss, Nirvana, Utopia. I am at the top of the mountain, not at the bottom like most suicidal morons. Unfortunately, knowing that, I cannot go forward with the days ahead because they will never again be as good as tonight. I just snorted not 1, but 2 lines of coke off of not 2, but 3 girls' chests (thanks Trixie, Candy and Baby Doll for the use of your perfect breasts). Then we all 4 had the most unbelievable sex. The kind of unbridled deviant sex that they write rap songs about. Then we washed rinsed and repeated it all not 1, not 2 but 3 more times.

It is truly the best night that could ever be, which is why it must end my life tonight. Life can now only get worse. Nothing is left for me here in this world not even an obsene amount of money that I could use toward more drugs, booze and hookers in an attempt to recreate the glory of this night. It can simply not possible to ever live like this again. Every seemingly joyous moment from here forward would be compared to tonight and fall miserably short. I will never surpass the level of happiness that I have tonight. So, I'm going out on top, high as hell, drunk as fuck, feeling euphoric, and my seed spread across the faces of 3 beautiful women. It was nice being me while it lasted. So.....

To my family: I am sorry if this drastic measure which I have decided to inflict upon myself comes to you as a surprise. To most of you I am sure it will not come as some big shocker as I have overheard most of you at one time or another jokingly bet with eachother on when I would off myself. I wish I were around to find out who won the bet. Oh well.

To Trixie, Candy, Baby Doll, Kitty, Mink, and Jazmine: I will miss you all more than you will ever know or that I could ever express. I had the most memorable times of my life with you all, sometimes with more than one of you at the same time, like tonight. You are all the best money can buy even if it is at an hourly rate. Don't be sad that I am gone.

To Mark Owere: In my final weeks on this planet you had become the only one I could truly trust, the only person I could have complete faith in. When family, friends and neighbors had all turned against me and conspired with the government to get me, it was you, like a beacon in the night, who were the last vestige of hope I had. I so wanted to please you and help you in our business venture together but alas it was not to be. In the last hours as I reflected back on our communications I could see that even you had come to hold me in complete contempt and disgust. I am sorry that I will not be able to finalize our transaction. I hope this does not jeopardize your ability to get the $4.5 million that you so desperately wanted at any cost including at my ultimate peril. I hope you are happy and I am sure you will get what is coming to you at some point.

To all of you bastard sons of bitches that turned against me (you know who you are) and conspired with those who wished to do me in, I am happyÊ to inform that all your efforts were futile. I got myself instead. Like I always said: ÒJust because I am paranoid doesn't mean they are not really after me.Ó Who is laughing now?

Goodbye for ever and Viva Life,
Clay

It is a sad, sad day. A moment of silence please. I also spent way too much time in PhotoShop whipping up a fake Suicide Note and Newspaper Obituary Clipping to send along with this e-mail.
